MICKEY KAUS on the real healthcare divide: treatment vs. rationing.

Sometimes it’s better – politically and morally – to have decentralized decisions, made by doctors and patients on all sorts of varied grounds. Even if it looks irrational, it will respect both life and individual autonomy (and the equality thereof).

The quote appears to put me in the “treatment” category, but I’m rather of the category that believes the decision is best left to those most intimately involved - the patient, family, and those they deem necessary for support.
